Academic Programs

The University of Massachusetts prides itself on admitting high-quality students. We strive to expand and mold our academic profile to meet the fast-changing needs of today’s students, faculty and researchers alike, across all five campuses at Amherst, Boston, Dartmouth, Lowell and the Medical School in Worcester.

With more than 3,000 academic programs offered across five campuses, it's essential that we provide an efficient way for prospective students to see all that UMass has to offer. This inventory includes degree-based programs only, with just a handful of non-degree offerings at this time. Campuses do offer non-degree programs as well (different from enrolling as a non-degree student); the full array of our non-degree programs will be addressed in a future iteration of our University-wide inventory. For additional details on non-degree programs, please visit the campus sites.

In addition, we strongly encourage you to browse through the Campus Catalogs for in-depth information regarding academic programs of interest to you, specific admission requirements, as well as any other information you might need to make an informed decision about your options here at UMass.
